Some of you may know, and some of you may not know, I am releasing my 4th book of art. It's due out toward the end of July. I'm quite happy with it actually and I'm hoping you will dig it as well. I am currently taking pre-orders for it, and if you are up for supporting the arts, particularly "MY" art, please take this opportunity to pre-order my book now. I will also be throwing in an original drawing for every pre-order as well as a signed drawing inside the book. Your support is very much appreciated.

I've been working at Nickelodeon on Eric Robles' show called "Fanboy and Chum Chum". It's a fantastic show. I really think it's gonna be a hit. I'm painting title cards, doing color scripts, (lighting reference for the CG team), and doing paint overs for some shots where it's faster to paint than model. He's a fun one. One of the characters gets his hand burned, and I get to paint nasty little blisters. OUCH! It's a GREAT show, and I want to thank Eric for having me work on it. He's a fantastic guy and man is he talented!!!! Check it out when it has a sneak peek Nov 6th after spongebob and Nov 7th at 10:30 am on Nickelodeon! YOU WILL DIG IT!!!!!

Me and my friend Alex Chavez drew at lunch today and we did an exercise called memory drawings. We pick someone we see and take mental notes, then draw the subject from memory to see what we remember. It's a great way to build up your observation skills. My buddy Stephen silver introduced me to this exercise. Try it!

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at Comic Con this year! I had a a great time seeing all the familiar and not so familiar faces. I thought I'd share this piece that Chris Sanders (Lilo and Stitch) did for me this year of Whaleboy. He is the BOMB!!!!

My friend Chris Chaplin happened to be walking by whenChris Sanders was working on it and snapped this photo.

Here is a pic from my latest book "Undertoe" that was inspired by comic con that I did for my friends John and Kenny. You can buy my book right here on my blog too.

I was asked to be a part of a book of Character designs that is coming out soon. To my surprise, they are using Whaleboy for the cover. Pretty Cool!!!! It's a German book publisher called Zeixs. They do big thick books on various subjects like typography, illustration, graphic design etc... WhoooooHooooo!!!

Here is a piece I did for the upcoming Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo that I'll be attending. This is my third year attending and I got to say it's one of my favorite conventions. Their theme every year is cowboys, so I did a Cow-Whaleboy for the booklet they distribute at the Con. They also auction off the original artwork for charity. See ya there April 26th and 27th.

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out Saturday to the show I was a part of. Thanks again to Shane Sato and Buckwild Gallery for putting it all together.

I thought I'd share the painting I did for the show. They asked all the artists to paint on a skateboard. The theme was kind of an anti Valentines day type-o-thing. Mine is a dragon breathing Hot blue fire an a charred heart. Kept it pretty simple, but it got me excited about painting again. This piece and all the other pieces are for sale and will be on display at the gallery for the next month. Go and check out the show if you can!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been pretty busy with my new gig. I've been having a lot of fun just drawing right in photoshop at work. I did this silly creature pretty quickly in photoshop, trying to adopt a more painterly approach. I don't know if it's successful or not, but I wanted to share. It's my first stab working this way. It's fun trying out new techniques. C Ya!

Sorry for not posting too much since Comic Con. I've been quite busy with my new gig. I started over at Heavy Iron studios as a video game concept designer. It's a great job. Wonderful people, and I am learning a bunch of new stuff.

This is a piece I did for an upcoming book called "Force, Character Design from Life Drawing". It's a really cool book that I was asked to be a part of. All the artists choose from a bunch of photos that were given to us, and then we explain our process of doing the piece. I think it's gonna be a really cool book, with a ton of amazing artists who I am honored to be put with. Thanks to Mike Metesi for letting me be a part of it. I think it will be out early next year.
